Fail!

That only cuts what you roll over. Come visit when you get Darth maul twin cutters sorted for either side

Did a little recce the other day. Wow it's so overgrown. I'd wear long sleeves/shorts for this ride, they will get pulled though, depends if you prefer the self harmer look.

Had to adopt the route a little as one trail is unrideable, popped in a better one.

I thought it was the host job to prepare the trail and supply cake n sandwiches for all their new wonderful friends to enjoy safely

You're dead right, all that care is going into the next visit, where my own trail, fully built by moi will be ready. I'll be bringing all the bribing food for everyone to say it's the coolest trail on the chase there's certainly nothing else like it here

No quite right, pass birches valley entrance on left go the 1.5 miles until a crossroads, turn right follow until end 0.5 miles. Car park is directly opposite.

Or you can go straight past Birches Valley on Penkridge Bank Rd, follow it round the 90° left bend and in a few hundred metres the White House Car Park will be on your right. All of which work coming from Rugeley. Then we get into coming from Cannock lol.

or you can just use the postcode - WS12 4PR

Hope there’s no sheep on Cannock ? (I’ve got it in before you start)??

Can’t think of any. Have to substitute Deer ? for them.

Rumour is there's some wild boar in the area, but I've heard thats just the locals ?

Hi guys, it is with much regret to confirm that I will be unable to attend the rerun of this epic, off piste, foliage based ride.
However I would like to hear how it goes and will be watching this forum with interest!
Best of British to you all; May your wheels turn freely and your bikes remain upright throughout. ?

I've actually seen a wild boar up there

 

[MitchF]

Can they run faster than sheep ??

 

[Morton027]

They have tusks and can be aggressive apparently. I’ve never managed to see one in FoD.

Those tusks are no match for DD casing tyres

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Recce route for half the loop resulted in this, and that's missing out the worst trails.

Yeah I know, I'm a pussy as my partner keeps telling me.

 

[Mad Mark]

I had the same last week

but mine was from walking into the bushes for a piss

[Apps]

Hi guys count me in please newbie to forum but not cannock?

 

[skismith]

I will try to be there time permitting.

 

[Doomanic]

Weather is looking a bit shitty again, let’s hope it clears up before Sunday.

Saturday looks proper shit hopefully Sunday will be better though

 

[Mad Mark]

Sundays starting to look a lot better ?

think we might actually make this one work ?

 

[Morton027]

Same with Weatherpro forecast

 

[Doomanic]

Isn't it dependent on the weather in the few days before though?

 

[Kangr]

it depends how saturated the ground is, as sometimes it can dry fast up there

 

[Mad Mark]

I think it should be AMC’s decision - as it’s him who’s got to get us round the trails & he does live local to the Chase....so we will let him decide ?

live local..... hmm....the word local implies a greater distance than AMC actually lives from the chase

Looking at the picture of Mark's incredibly toned leg has made me realise 2 things...
1. I need some leg protection, and...
2. I haven't got any.
Only winter knee warmers which probably wont be enough. What do I need?
